Defining moments

That was the theme of this year's SendOutCards convention that wrapped up yesterday in Salt Lake City. Unfortunately, I didn't make it this year. I've made it every other year so far but I'm going every year from now on.

And as usual, CEO Kody Bateman wrote a song about the theme of the convention:

There were quite a few announcements and I've heard about a few of them but hopefully I'll be learning more over the next few days. Tomorrow's SOC Corporate webinar should have a lot of information! The webinar is at 5:00 PM PDT. Click on the link above to register, whether you're a distributor, customer or innocent bystander.

The first announcement is the upgraded version of the SendOutCards app, which includes a new layout and an easy way to download it onto your phone, whether it's an Apple or Android...you can even download the app onto your phone from your computer, just click on the link to download it. And if you're not already a SOC customer, the first card is on me! Click and try it out for free. And now it's even easier to share the app with your friends and family either directly from the app or computer. In the iOS app click Profile on the lower right and click Share SendOutCards. From the website click Account in the upper right corner and click Share SendOutCards. I'm not sure about Android yet, but I'll let you know when I find out.

Also new is the First Impressions kit, which includes the Custom Brand Manager and First Impressions campaign cards:

First Impressions Kit - six professionally designed campaign cards, printed on our new Signature Series Premium Paper stock - 3 on Premium Pearl and 3 on Signature Black Satin.

We've taken the guesswork and expense out of creating meaningful and memorable cards for your customers. They can choose a pre-designed card template, personalize it as much or as little as they would like, and we will handle the printing, stamping and mailing of their cards on their schedule! This service would normally cost thousands of dollars per year - we offer it at a fraction of the cost. 

These cards are now available on the SendOutCards website under Main Menu -> Purchase Products.

Those are the big announcements that I'm aware of at the moment...I'll share as I learn more.
